1930's Pat Ragan Major League Baseball Silver Lifetime Pass....

Description

1930's Pat Ragan Major League Baseball Silver Lifetime Pass.
In 1912, Regan pitched Brooklyn's last game in Washington Park
before the move to Ebbets Field. In 1914, he became the third
pitcher in Major League history to strike out three batters on nine
pitches. In 1919, he played one game for the ill-fated Chicago
Black Sox. After his eleven-year Major League came to an end, Ragan
was duly honored in silver with the presented artifact.

The shimmering silver pass (4.25x2.75") bears the maker's mark of
"Lambert Bros Jewelers NY" on verso, with text on front
boldly proclaiming "The National - American Major Leagues of
Professional Baseball Present this Lifetime Pass to Pat Ragan in
Appreciation of Long and Meritorious Service." The facsimile
signatures of League presidents Harridge and Frick appear at
bottom. The piece shows some expected tarnishing, but this could
easily be remedied at the winning bidder's preference. Lot includes
1910 Eastern League baseball which was obtained, with the silver
pass, from Ragan's son.
